It features Korg's HI (Hyper Integrated) synthesis technology as found in the acclaimed TRITON series. Its modern, stylish body contains integrated handles for easy transport.

The microKORG is a portable, affordable synthesizer offering a variety of tools for performers, producers, computer musicians and beginners alike. It delivers modeling synthesis, vocoding, real-time control, onboard effects and external audio processing, plus Korg's renowned quality and sound.
